Did you vote today ?

[Konaguy]

I certainly did. One onteresting note was
I was offered to electronically vote. I
politely refused and requested a traditional
ballot.

Hey wait! I thought evoting was only supposed to be for physically challenged people in the precinct? Wassup wit dat? Did somebody not train the volunteers correctly? :rolleyes:

Evidently non disabled people can use the electronic voting machines too if you ask. I personally wanted no part in it.

Place I went to vote had the usual paper ballots.

Each polling place was supposed to have one of the e-vote machines. Mine certainly did, although at 10:20am no one had yet used it (I asked). I was voter number 270 at the place, by the way. There were about ten-fifteen people inside the cafeteria, with four or five workers.

The polling place i went to obviously did.
Someone was actually using it when
I was there.

I'm abstaining this year. Seems to me the best way to protest
such an awful bunch of options (especially in the national
election.)

As you can see people were not exactly voting en-masse at 10:45 this morning at my polling place.

Hmmm well my .02 better yet .10 people who don't vote have no right
to complain. People who don't use their constitutional right to vote
bother me also. So what if the candidates are not good, that is a cop-out
excuse in my opinion. Just imagine if you were in Cuba or Iran or China
where you cannot vote. Voting is not a privilege to be taken lightly,
it is our right.

All that shows is apathy. If you want to make a statement as to an awful bunch of options, is to show up, take the ballot, don't mark anything and just submit it. If enough people do that, sooner or later the law makers are going to wonder why "blank votes" have more votes casted than the front runner.

I worked the polls all day at Sunset Beach Elementary, and the official word is that each polling place has an e-ballot machine, that it's available for disabled voters, and that it's available for everyone else, too. Some polling places got a lot of people to use the machine; at Sunset, we didn't really offer it unless someone asked, and by the end of the day only one person had voted that way.

Yes I voted and was interviewed by the Honolulu Advertiser.
